Enter and Esc keys can now be used to end or cancel Bezier curve drawing

If a selection exists, undo first undos the selection transformation

Canvas is now locked on autoreset and a notification chat message is sent

Layer selection is now restored after session reset

Removed "persistent session" option from the host dialog (this option was misleading since persistence may not be available on the target server. Once a session is started, it can be made persistent via the session settings dialog if the server supports it.)

New features:

Added a built-in tablet testing tool

Added an option to hide the server address in the status bar

Added an option to disable tool toggling shortcut

All admin HTTP queries are now logged

Added a log file for debug messages

Linux specific fixes:

Fixed server build with systemd integration enabled

Qt version in AppImage downgraded to 5.6, as tablet hover events are broken in Qt 5.7 and newer

Website update

May 21, 2017

The website has just received a technical overhaul. While the overall layout remains the same, the site is now powered by Django. (Previously, it was a static site generated with Hyde.) This makes it possible to add dynamic features in the future, such as username registration for the public server and user galleries.

The source code for the website is now fully open and can be found at github. I will accept pull requests if you have ideas for improvement or even just typo fixes.

Drawpile 2.0.4 Release

April 25, 2017

Version 2.0.4 is now out! This release introduces new features, but also fixes a couple of bugs.

Bugs fixed in this release:

Fixed user lock and OP status getting out of sync with the server when joining back to a session

Added missing error reporting if image saving fails

New features and improvements:

There is now a dedicated brush slot for an eraser (eraser mode is permantenly active in this slot)

Eraser as a separate tool is back. The eraser tool works works just like the freehand tool, but it only uses the new eraser slot

Switching the currently selected brush into eraser mode is now done with a new shortcut: Ctrl+E

Added a new tool for drawing Bezier curves

A size limit can now be set for the flood fill tool to protect against accidental fills.

Flood fill tool now has an erase mode

And last, but not least, is the new Room Code feature.

When you announce a session, the list server assigns a random five letter code to it.
This code can be entered into the server address box in the Join dialog in place of
the full session address. All listed sessions get a room code, but it is most useful
with the new private session type. When the listing mode is set to private, the session will not appear
in the public list, but you still get a room code. This way, when you want to invite friends to a session
but do not want to make it visible to the general public, just set the listing type to private and send
them the room code.

Drawpile 1.0.3 Release

April 17, 2017

Version 2.0.3 is now out. This release fixes some more bugs and restores some UI features. If you've been holding back from the 2.0 series because of the missing brush choice buttons, this is the release for you!

This release introduces the following changes to the UI:

Brush selection buttons (1-5) are back!

Brushes and the tools that use them are now decoupled: any brush can now be used with any tool

Any brush can now be switched into eraser mode

Consequently, the Pen, Brush, Watercolor and Eraser tools have been merged into a single Freehand tool. Which mode it works in now depends on the selected brush.

The maligned tool preset pie menu is now replaced with a brush preset dock

Restored 'X' shortcut key to swap between primary/alternative colors

Smoother behavior now matches version 1.0.6

This release also fixes many bugs:

Fixed application crash when merging layers

Fixed invisibly locked layers (strokes would disappear after drawing)

Fixed empty canvas after reset (caused by mixing of non-reset and reset messages during auto-reset)

Fixed missing ctrl/alt modifiers when using a tablet stylus

Fixed server crash when a new user joins

Fixed lockup when squishing selections

Session timeout setting now works as it should

Drawpile 2.0.2 Release

March 27, 2017

Version 2.0.2 is now out. This release fixes the bug that would lock up the application
when a session was reset, and many other bugs. It also adds a new logo contributed by
Leandro Pacheco. In many ways, this is the release version 2.0.0
should have been.

Changes in this version include:

Fixed returning from fullscreen mode to maximized window

Fixed server crash when terminating an announced session

Restored missing "lock dock positions" feature

Messages received during reset while session history is full are now dropped (mitigates auto-reset loop of death)
